User:Omz13.com
I created the domain omz13.com to use as my online identity in 2003, which in internet years means it is really old.
I have been involved in ICT from about 198x, when accessing Prestel over a 1200/75 baud modem was a thing. These days I connect to the internet over a high bandwidth glass connection (huzzah for FTTP).
Itches
in alphabetical order:
- avoiding link rot because things on the net have a tendency to disappear (especially when in a silo) so some kind of archiving
- avoiding the micro and looking more towards the macro
- plurality because diversity and interoperability are good
- privacy
Working On
Making my own building blocks and sticking them together with gaffer tape and cyanoacrylates to build my very own Platform as a Service for Just One Person: an exemplar of use what you make.
- It is written in Go because I like languages that are strictly typed and hardened for production in the hostile environment that the web and internet have become.
- The core is a microformat-oriented cms whose content can be updated using micropub (for use by its built-in editor of external clients like Quill) or wordpress api (for use by external clients such as MarsEdit or Author).
- Can act as an IdP/AS using indieauth and fully implements Ticketing
- Provides a Web Key Service
- Has micropub client and server components
- Has webmention sending and receiving components
- Embraces content negotiation
- Embraces .well-known
- Embraces WebFinger because this more appropriate than working with mf2+html.
- Privacy first
